If that is a surname and has any Finnish connection, then it would mean a house or a place with plenty of berries. It would have been spelt originally Marjala or Marjola and the j could have changed to i because of the closer pronunciation. (Marja, marjo- = berry, -la = a place, homestead by...)

Mari- obviously from Maria.

Ola is the Polish pet form of Aleksandra.

But, I don't know if that's right, although, I know that that name is used in Poland.
